This week's most important update, Gavin livestream highlights:
Release route: Gavin clearly stated that it supports “hard pressure” (up to 2.1 billion DOT), reducing every two years on Pi Day (13.14% based on remaining supply). First cut: 2026-03-14; if approved, the plan will be merged into v1.8.1
Policy goals: Focus on managing “interest rates” rather than nominal inflation; unify pool redistribution (verification/nomination/treasury/others) by decoupling issuance → interest rates → security through the “Revenue Pot”.
Validator payments: It is proposed to use DOT-based stablecoins to pay validator returns; solutions such as Hollar can be used in the short term to promote “native, overcollateralized DOT stablecoins” in the long term (and explore stable-ish designs).
Nominee mechanism: It is proposed to eliminate slashing and unbundling periods, introduce “zero risk interest rates” (interest rates are low but stable), and maintain the nomination mechanism to bring interest rates closer to real economic regulation.
Validator governance: Introduce the Proof of Personhood idea to improve the transparency of identity and node declarations, require a certain degree of self-pledge, and reduce the risk of centralization and tandem connections.
Treasury and Governance: After Gavin returns to CEO of Parity, W3F/Parity will vote more actively to establish spending committees and open standards, and move towards more conservative and strategic fiscal discipline.
Product and path: Build not only machines, but also applications — Hub+ Coretime two-wheel drive; Parity will build the Hub into a “dual VM (Revm/PolkAVM) contract platform”, and will launch its own products to drive adoption.
For more details, see the full Chinese version compiled by PolkaWorld“Polkadot transformation: Gavin supports hard pressure and a complete reshaping of the fiscal spending mechanism!”
In addition, in this live broadcast, Gavin Wood revealed for the first time his mission and direction after returning to CEO of Parity! He said he will return to the original intention from all aspects — Polkadot should truly reach the public and become a useful product platform. Parity is positioned as a product company that not only makes “machines” (Hub, PoP, JAM...), but also personally applies them. Future direction:
Strategic capital investment
Concentrate resources → Build a Hub smart contract platform
Incubate new scenarios such as Proof of Personhood and games
Self-use platform + dual-line promotion for users
Gavin teaser: new products will be released in the coming months! Learn more in PolkaWorld's latest article“Heavy! Gavin Wood shares his mission and direction after returning to CEO of Parity!
This Friday marks Parity's 10th anniversary! Parity mainly served Ethereum for the first five years and Polkadot for the next five years! Now, on the 10th anniversary of Parity, it has finally opened the doors of Polkadot for Ethereum developers through REVM!
Ten years ago, Gavin Wood and core developers brought EVM to the crypto world at ETHCore (now called Parity)!
Ten years later, Parity finally allows every Ethereum developer to start over on Polkadot.
Polkadot has been behind EVM's source code from the very beginning!
If you're a Solidity developer and have had concerns about Boca — now, the launch of REVM has paved the way for you. You no longer need to adapt to a new language, understand Runtime, or restructure your account system. You can continue to use the tools, languages, and ways of thinking you are familiar with to build applications belonging to the next generation multi-chain ecosystem.
Welcome to the Polkadot Hub! REVM is waiting for you to deploy the first line of code!“Parity 10th Anniversary: REVM Opens Polkadot Doors for Ethereum Developers!”
This week's major developments: 500ms block generation is coming soon! Parity engineers said that the feature has been developed, merged as soon as the end of the year, and launched first on the Westend parachain! Looking back at the Polkadot parachain block generation time, it has gone from 12 seconds → 6 seconds → 500 ms:
2021: Parachain launched, 12s block generation (execution 500ms), safe but too slow
Asynchronous endorsement → Pipelined, shortened to 6s
Elastic scaling + Block Bundling™ → Multi-core parallel, maximum resource utilization, 500 ms block generation
This will bring:
✔️ Faster confirmation, better user experience
✔️ Supports ~1960 transactions within 500ms
✔️ Flexible response to upgrades and high loads
However, Parity is not stopping; the future direction: sub-second block generation and transaction streaming! Polkadot is paving the way for low-latency, high-concurrency Web3 applications! https://x.com/polkaworld_pro/status/1963635415896002797
Update: Polkadot rollup one-click deployment platform PDP will launch Kusama Network at the end of September! This means you'll soon be able to deploy rollups on Kusama via PDP!
Currently Parity is happy with the test results:
0 deployment failures
Everyone who tried it successfully deployed a Rollup on Westend and ran over a billion blocks
Even Parity's finance team easily deployed a rollup on Kusama
Overall, it's been tested very well and proven to run! However, Parity will continue to improve and open up better versions for everyone to use! https://x.com/polkaworld_pro/status/1962910136957300929
The annual event for developers sub0 will be held November 14-16 in Buenos Aires! This is also Polkadot's flagship technology summit, which will focus on cutting-edge R&D:
In-depth analysis of JAM, parachain extension, and cross-chain interoperability
60+ core speakers sharing toolchains, protocols and practical experiences
24h hacker space + $15K bounty to inspire development and innovation

Hydration TVL is over $400 million! Additionally, they have integrated with Hyperbridge's testnet. This integration lays the foundation for Hyperbridge to provide a secure cross-chain DeFi experience on Hydration. Stay tuned, the main network will be launched soon! https://x.com/hyperbridge/status/1963637036771930151
Hyperbridge advances at a critical stage! Recently, the first relayer successfully withdrew $43, marking the official launch of the online incentive system! Relayers (relayers) are decentralized nodes in the Hyperbridge network, and anyone can participate without permission — they are responsible for securely forwarding cross-chain messages from blockchain A to blockchain B and collecting processing fees.
This milestone means:
• The network has begun to truly “hematopoiesis”, and the relay mechanism is sustainable;
• A closed loop of cross-chain economy has been initiated;
• Decentralized infrastructure is actually implemented.
Hyperbridge isn't just a test; it's the beginning of an age of utility. https://x.com/polkaworld_pro/status/1963997300935532702
Bifrost announces SLPx v2 upgrade. There are two main new highlights:
1 ️ √ SLpX SDK: Developers only need to integrate once to access LST (Liquid Staking Token, Liquid Staking Token) on multiple chains. You don't need to separately adapt the collateral derivatives of different chains; you can access them uniformly through the SLpX SDK.
2 ️ RSP (Reward Sharing Protocol): Supports multiple LST reward sharing. This means that users or apps can obtain and distribute staking benefits from different LSTs all at once, and manage rewards more efficiently.
The Bifrost SLPx v2 upgrade will make it easier for developers and apps to integrate DeFi liquidity staking features. https://x.com/0xLurpis/status/1962828147554164767
Recently, Lollipop received funding from the Web3 Foundation. Let me share with you what the community's hotly debated Lollipop is doing this week?
Simply put, it provides Solana with a “bridgeless scaling” solution through JAM. It doesn't rely on traditional cross-chain bridges, nor is it an ordinary two-tier expansion. Instead, through Serverless Network Extensions, Solana's dApps can directly expand computing power while maintaining uninterrupted liquidity and user experience.
